Yep. They'll work with any cm7. Welcome to the world of hdpi graphics and 4g :)
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Updated apk's with dialer themed are now on the market :) I'll be updating the direct downloads right now.
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
UPdating now !!! thank you sir !!

Edit ONE : OMG !!! It's perfect !!
[Android Themes] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
Wow the dialer is f'in beautiful! And im lovin the new splash on the xda app, thanks! I would love to try your other themes but I just can't get over the red remix!

I told you a while back I was gonna donate asap, and finally I've got some extra money, so ill be upgrading to the donate version of red remix as soon as I update my debit card info with Google.

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
New dialer looks awesome!!!

UpwardSpiral, thanks for the tips on theming icons. Making progress on more complete morph packages for the add-ons. Still putting the finishing touches on my template and doing some testing, I should have the new versions done in a week. Here is a taste of what is coming:
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
Hey I'm not going to panic, this is great works man !!!!
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Those look really good. I'm equally impressed with how you were able to get every single one of those notifications to show up at exactly the same time :)
[Android Themes] flamepanther:
Thanks for another great update!

I'm tempted to learn how to theme AKP packages to tackle a few less commonly used apps (instead of asking for them to be covered in the main themes), but most of the guides I've come across seem to be oriented toward theming the OS. Any recommendations?
[Android Themes] brmayhem:
Themes look amazing and the morph packs just complete the deal.

Thank you UpwardSpiral and Dont Panic.
[Android Themes] Greenfieldan:
I'm not sure if this has been stated before, but suddenly my handcent notifications are black/illegible now?
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
I haven't themed anything relating to text for handcent, but they may have changed something. I'll look into it. This is for minimal magic, right?
[Android Themes] megarek:
Upwardspiral,

I love all of your themes and greatly appreciate the hard work you put into this.

I noticed a bug on the "basic white" theme which makes notifications difficult to read. I have attached a picture below. Notice the black on black text is hard to name out. Does not occur on any of the other basic themes. Thanks again!
[Android Themes] kuceens007:
yeah dialer is great but i have bug now after update.i m on cm 7 and when i want to push example *150# to ckeck balance dialer gets FC !! then i need tho enter pin code... i never had any bug at all !!!:confused:
[Android Themes] Zim415:
Nice theme collection; very clean and slick looking!
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
I'm actually updating the basic series. This bug will definitely be fixed in the update. hang tight.

Try rebooting the phone and see if that helps. I tried on my phone just now. I got a single FC, but when I tried to repeat it, it worked. If it still gives you force closes, would you be able to PM me your logcat file?

As an aside, the theme chooser app isn't perfect (yet). Sometimes it restarts apps perfectly, but sometimes it causes uncaught thread errors. For best results, I now recommend rebooting the phone even after switching between themes. 90% of the time theme chooser works right, but rebooting the phone is the one way to make sure everything restarts with the proper theme like it should.
[Android Themes] Greenfieldan:
Correct :)
[Android Themes] kuceens007:
Yes reboot solves the problem ,thanks man :)
[Android Themes] OSully:
I LOVE Blue Bionic.

Not crazy about the dialer theming though.
[Android Themes] megarek:
Awesome! Thanks. You're the man.
[Android Themes] fowenati:
The only thing I don't like about the theme is how it makes my custom transparent widgets for pandora and espn (and a few others) all back n stuff, other than that, amzing. I just wish that i could have MM with Pulldown, Icons and all, but No widgetssss
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
I prefer the old dialer :p good job on the themes though.
[Android Themes] OSully:
Any chance we could get the old dialer back without transparency and the icons and the like, UpwardSpiral?

I'd keep using an older version but I need that Music widget fix :p
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
The crowd has spoken (here, pm's and direct emails). There are people who like the dialer, but there are enough people who don't for me to take notice, so here's the plan:

I'm going to pull the dialer buttons out of the normal theme and turn them into a metamorph option. @Don't Panic, I might need your help with this :D:D:D. The transparency for the dialer is going to stay. This was the most requested feature I had and I don't think keeping that in is going to ruin anyone's day (besides, I'm really fond of it).

For the people requesting the any of my themes without themed icons or widgets, I coincidentally already turning the basic series of apps into this. They will have themed system icons, but no third party icons. There will no widget theming at all.

While I know this won't work for everyone, I think this will take care of the vast majority of options people are looking for without adding and maintaining 20,000 versions of my themes:)
[Android Themes] OSully:
That's cool.

Any chance of you making the transparency for the phone a different file than the notification background shade? It kinda makes it hard to me to change it to a white notification (which I prefer) because the dialer and phone have white backgrounds. :P
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Lol, Yeah, I can change that :)
[Android Themes] OSully:
Haha awesome, I like to add some of my own touches and that kinda put a damper in it :p

I also have another request, how about adding a title bar shadow? I think themes look awesome with this. the HTC Sense theme has it in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970459

And one more - I get that the smooth battery would probably be a ***** to implement since it'd 200 pngs. How about smooth sync, gps, and the like icons though?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
No problem. I made an orange one quick, will make the rest tomorrow night.
[Android Themes] kuceens007:
For me theme is great,there will be one theme like it is right now? :)

[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Minimal Magic Notifications

IF YOU USE MINIMAL MAGIC, READ THIS

I just looked into the black handcent notifications and they are also hard coded into a layout file that cannot be themed. This is a growing list of text that is non-functional on minimal magic.

I'm considering switching the notification background to the same as the other themes with black text. This isn't my first choice, but it seems to be the only way to get things to work right 100% of the time.

I'd like to hear what all of you think. While the people who regularly check this thread are a very small percentage of the people who actually use the theme, you guys probably care about it more than anyone. The debate is prettier with less functionality, or organized retreat and things always work right. Let me know what you guys think.
[Android Themes] OSully:
I'm confused!
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
I'm talking about the pulldown notifications

The question is this:

1) keep it how it is now, knowing that lots of notifications are going to be in black no matter what

2) change this to how it looks in the other themes (semi-transparent background with black text). IMO not as pretty, but functional 100% of the time

3) something else I haven't thought of yet (you guys are creative, I'm okay with suggestions).
[Android Themes] OSully:
Well I don't use minimal, but I'd say your best bet is 100% functional.
[Android Themes] KaZo58:
You mean like this? :D
[Android Themes] megarek:
I would definitely prefer 100% functionality as well. Seems like you have no choice if some of the notification text colors are hard-coded to be black and cannot be changed.
[Android Themes] OSully:
I have a *small* request for the next release (well small compared to my others)... can you add a themed widget background for the subsonic app?
[Android Themes] pc332412258:
It's nice, thank you for sharing
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Sorry, I missed your post on the first pass. There won't be a theme exactly like it is now, but it will be very easy to get the same effect. You will be able to use a metamorph made by Don't Panic to re-add the themed keyboard. Metamorphs are pretty user friendly and shouldn't give anyone too much trouble.
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Basic Series

The basic series has been updated and download links are in the second post.

There are now basic versions of all colors. The style of the theme is a little different now. All status bar and pulldown items are themed. No widget theming, and no 3rd party icon theming.

For the people who have been requesting minimal magic without themed icons, basic white should be exactly what you've been asking for.
[Android Themes] OSully:
Another request (for Blue Bionic but it could apply to all). The lock screen metamorph is great for the lock icon to be blue - but the phone icons are still green in Phone.apk. Could you add blue versions of ic_jog_dial_answer.png, ic_jog_dial_answer_and_end.png, and ic_jog_dial_answer_and_hold.png to the theme for phone.apk?

EDIT: Sorry just the first one, I didn't realize the other two were yellow
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
The basic lockscreen morph is about to get an update, and there will be a full theme add-on released today for most themes.

Sadly, when you try to morph Phone.apk, it causes a force close loop while installing, requiring a battery pull when it is done. Thus, I have not added answer icons, because I want the installs to be smooth.

If UpwardSpiral can't add them, I can make a special pack to do them, with special instructions. I would prefer not to take that route though.
[Android Themes] OSully:
Yeah I meant add the phone icon into the Blue Bionic theme directly, I think that would probably work.

I made a metamorph myself with blue lock icons and with the green tabs changed to blue, and with the volume bar changed to blue. Are you adding anything else? having the power menu and the volume toast popup themed would be awesome.
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
I haven't tried adding the themed icons to the dialer yet. I focusing on getting the basic series up and running. I'll see if it's possible to theme them or if it's the same issue as the lockscreen.
[Android Themes] OSully:
COOOOOOOL.

Thanks, you are the man. So glad I found this thread and your themes. If my suggestions are an annoyance let me know and I'll keep my mouth shut. :p

So when the market updates the red remix it will change the dialer? Then we need to use the dialer morphology arson for it?

correct. after the update, the buttons will look pretty much like they used to. If you want xtreme dialer, use the metamorph. It's pretty easy to do. Just follow the instructions.

What about some MDPI love?

I need to touch base with Dont Panic about mdpi. There will be mdpi support, I just don't want to be redundant if he's already partway through it.

Which morph theme version are you trying to use, specifically. I just released these, I'll check that one to see if it has any errors in it.

Do you have USB debugging turned on? Metamorph needs it.....

Go check out Don't Panic's metamorphs.

The debug thing is one of the checks i have turned on since my first rooted phone in aug of last year, so yes it's on, lol !!!!!

It's the bionic blue... The morph isn't even taken any effect.. It's not loading at all in meta... Thanks for your time....

[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Hi and welcome to the club/family!

The clock with the line is SiMi clock widget. you can download it from the android market and it looks exactly like the pictures stock. The other one is a little bit trickier. It is minimalistic text widget (also on the market). I have it set up to use digits instead of text. It also has a custom font called "Slicker" which can be found for free online.

Regarding the volume: theme chooser can't override/theme the main volume control, but a metamorph is available that will theme it. My second and third posts have a FAQ and download links that should help :)

We were all new to this at some point. We should always be extra patient with people just getting into it and get them the info they need to get started. They may end up being your next favorite dev or themer.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I just downloaded and tested BlueBionic Basic and Full versions and they worked fine for me.

Sorry, one more questions to rule out user error: After downloading, you moved the .zips to /sdcard/AndroidThemes ? What do you mean by it isn't loading in meta?
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
when you extract the folders from the zips to get the .xml file(inside the extracted folder with the enhancements) to select for the morph it won't load up....
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
And if you go to pick existing theme, open the folder, and select the .xml file it won't load either?

I just downloaded the supersonic CM7 rom (that is the EVO, right?) just to make sure there was nothing different in the file paths. I have no idea why it isn't working for you. Sorry.
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
nope... it's just hanging there and last night i let it hang there for about 3 hrs.... It's saying loading contact.apk but it doesn't move...
[Android Themes] droid3:
I have blue Bionic and everythig is themed except the status bar. The the wifi and 3g indicator are still gray and I don't know why. I everything else is perfect
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
That's how Metamorph behaves with USB debugging turned off, though should it still finish contacts and get hung up at framework-res. I just had another EVO user contact me with the same problem.

At this point my best guess is there is a problem with USB debugging in the supersonic rom.
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
It wouldn't be the evo's going nuts are they ?
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
I just talked to another EVO user with the same problem, he was able to get it working though. I still think the USB debugging is a bit unstable in the supersonic rom. Try this:

Make sure you aren't usb connected to your computer.

Turn USB debugging off, then turn it back on.

Reboot your phone.

Run the morph.

[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Not a problem. I just realized the dialer on orange octane about an hour ago. The makefile did some funny chaching and actually rebuilt 1.3.0 (I think). I'm going to get that fixed.

Edit: I just hadn't updated the direct download link to 1.3.1 the market version is actually correct and the direct download is now fixed.

For some reason I realized this theme caused many problems when using other things like Kifno's tweak for the hero and when updating CM7 and other stuff
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Hi,

Could you provide a little more information so I can help with troubleshooting? What exactly is happening?
[Android Themes] fowenati:
HTC Logo boot freeze.

After about 8 days of trying I realized that it only happened when I themed the phone (not sure if it was the metamorph or the theme from the theme chooser itself).

It would work great until I flashed something, like Kifno's tweak for the Hero or a new update to CM7 (ie. RC3 or RC4)
[Android Themes] ezzie:
just started playing around with this a very tiny bit, have [MAR 29] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r3.06] for my android ROM. Most of the reading and ideas i get, but I missed where I am supposed to unzip the keyboard xml to for use. Is it just to the sd card or should I make it a specific folder or put it in the AndroidThemes folder?

thanks
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
It goes in the /sdcard/AndroidThemes folder. Full instructions can be found here.

Some mdpi basic versions have been released, the rest coming soon.

From now on, lets move morph questions over to that thread, so Upward doesn't have to sort through it all to find posts about his .apk's.

Thanks for all your help with the morph project UpwardSpiral.
[Android Themes] flamepanther:
Actually, I think ezzie might have been talking about the XML for my keyboard themes.

Ezzie, if you mean the keyboard themes I made, which are stored in an XML, those go anywhere on the SD card. However, they only work with the keyboard replacement app Ultra Keyboard, which can be found on the Android market.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
My bad. Sorry.
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Ah, those are actually pictures of text. I just posted a download link to all the images I made in the downloads section. You use those with desktop visualizer for the desired effect. PM (private message) me if you have any questions about how to use them :)
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
I just updated the downloads post. There are now links to every color of wallpapers. I also posted version 1.3.0 of all the full themes. These are the ones that have xtreme dialer built in, for anyone who wants them.

Minimal Magic Full plus all mdpi basic versions have been released.

I made an attempt to edit status_bar_latest_event_content.xml to try to fix the problem with some notifications in minimal. No success yet, but I'll keep trying and testing.
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Thanks for the effort with the notifications on minimal. At this point, I'm pretty sure that everything in the framework is theming correctly. It's just individual apps not handling notifications the right way.
[Android Themes] Dont Panic:
Working on Minimal I think has made me a convert. It is so pretty. You asked the question earlier, pretty or 100%, I vote pretty.

Updates coming soon to all morph versions. Pointer on sliders will be colored, background of volume bar will be clear black instead of gray. USB Andy will stay the same color but raise his other arm when in USB Storage. The waiting to download bar will be a cleaner black & theme color pattern. And my test run to theme market notifs was a success, so that may come soon too.

Hate to do it, but I'm also releasing soon those FC morphs for the remaining notif icons and in-call screens and other finishing touchs. Too bad the Theme Chooser couldn't do those. Instructions will be clear.

So pretty....

Desire S-on

Hi,

your themes are really great, i prefer the red remix and blu bionic. Excellent work!

I liked the themed dialer, but can't use metamorph because my desire is still s-on and i've no time at the moment to turn it s-off.

So i wanted to ask if someone could make a flashable zip of the red and blue dialer (if it's possible), so that i can flash them in recovery.

Would be great to complete this theme.

Thanks a lot for your work and for the one, who makes me a zip.
[Android Themes] UpwardSpiral:
Awesome! Don't worry about USB Andy, I'm going to be putting in a 3d version of that which will probably be in the next release (I never liked that graphic...)

Sorry to say, but this is actually a lot harder to pull off than it sounds. As opposed to a metamorph which only replaces the themed images, a flashable zip replaces the entire frameworks-res.apk and/or contacts.apk file. By itself this isn't an issue, but it becomes one when you think about how many different phones that use the theme. If there is one image added that shouldn't, or if there is one missing, you will get a boot loop :(

If someone is willing to take this on, they have my full support, but I'm concerned it might become a bit of a burden to maintain. Again, really sorry to say.
[Android Themes] CrashV2010:
I understand that this might not be the right place for this.

But I have been searching for the blue bee that i have enclosed but in green red or in orange to match these themes....

Please PM me for any suggestions or where abouts of these might be.

Thank you for you time...

I thought it wasn't that easy, but hope dies last.
